Intellectual progression of green service research: a bibliometric examination and avenues for future research
Get PDF© 2024 The Author(s). Published by Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis GroupThis article reviews the extant literature on green services based on data obtained from the Web of Science core collection database. The objective of the review is the identification of emerging and predominant themes, authors, and organizations within this domain of research. A bibliometric approach is taken in the analyses of the co-authorship, co-citations, keyword co-occurrence, and bibliographic coupling to assess the evolution of this research domain, based on a total of 212 publications. The results and visual representations of networks indicate that in the last decade, the major themes in green service research are ‘sustainability’, ‘impact’ and ‘performance’. Further, most of the studies have been published in the hospitality, supply chain and marketing fields. These and many more valuable insights discovered in this review present scholars and practitioners, among other things, a clearer understanding of the state-of- the art in green service research which could facilitate future studies and practices toward emerging issues in the field, such as big data and healthcare.Unfunde

Automorphism groups of axial algebras
Get PDFAxial algebras are a class of commutative non-associative algebras which have a natural group of automorphisms, called the Miyamoto group. The motivating example is the Griess algebra which has the Monster sporadic simple group as its Miyamoto group. Previously, using an expansion algorithm, about 200 examples of axial algebras in the same class as the Griess algebra have been constructed in dimensions up to about 300. In this list, we see many reoccurring dimensions which suggests that there may be some unexpected isomorphisms. Such isomorphisms can be found when the full automorphism groups of the algebras are known. Hence, in this paper, we develop methods for computing the full automorphism groups of axial algebras and apply them to a number of examples of dimensions up to 151.unfunde

Exploring TSGA10 function: A crosstalk or controlling mechanism in the signaling pathway of carcinogenesis?
Get PDFCancer-specific antigens have been a significant area of focus in cancer treatment since their discovery in the mid-twentieth century. Cancer germline antigens are a class of antigens specifically overexpressed in germline tissues and cancer cells. Among these, TSGA10 (testis-specific gene antigen 10) is of great interest because of its crucial impact on cancer progression. Early studies explored TSGA10 expression in a variety of cancer types. More recent studies revealed that TSGA10 can suppress tumor progression by blocking cancer cell metabolism, angiogenesis, and metastasis. An open question regarding the TSGA10 is why cancer cells must express a protein that prevents their progression. To answer this question, we conducted a comprehensive review to engage the TSGA10 in the context of the current understanding of “malignant transformation”. This review demonstrated that TSGA10 expression level in cancer cells depends on the cancer stage across malignant transformation. In addition, we evaluated how TSGA10 expression can prevent the “cancer hallmarks”. Given this information, TSGA10 can be of great interest in developing effective targeted anti-cancer therapies.Unfunde
Rhyl
No full textIt is composed of 21 black&white photographs taken in the 1980s and 1990s. It is included in a box set of 100 Café Royal Books titled Archive Five and is in the collection of major institutions. Rhyl was exhibited at the Martin Parr Foundation in the exhibition Café Royal Books: Documentary, Zines and Subversion (14 April-12 June 2022); and at Stills: Centre for Photography, Edinburgh as part of the exhibition titled Café Royal Books (10 November 2023 – 10 February 2024).Rhyl was published by Café Royal Books in an edition of 250 in October 2020. It was edited by Craig Atkinson, founder of Café Royal Books. Rhyl is the last of Clarke’s four CRB publications dedicated to the topic of the seaside town in North Wales and was released to coincide with the reprinting of Clarke’s three other CRB books on Rhyl. Clarke's larger project focused on his paper archive of family holidays in North Wales. This photobook of black&white photographs shows Rhyl’s promenade and fairground
Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted: An Exploration of the Influence Research Engagement has on the Professional Identities of University-based Teacher Educators
No full textThis thesis explores how engagement both with and in research shapes the professional identities of those working within the highly regulated and politically contested landscape of teacher education in England (V. Ellis & Childs, 2023). It is grounded in the work of Pierre Bourdieu and draws on the conceptual tools developed in texts such as Homo Academicus (Bourdieu, 2007) and Outline of a Theory of Practice (Bourdieu, 1977), alongside contemporary and affective readings of his work by scholars including Threadgold (2020) and S. Ahmed (2014). Through this lens, the study interrogates the often-marginalised role that research plays in the professional lives of teacher educators (Nicholson & Lander, 2022), offering insight into how teacher educators position themselves as both producers and consumers of research. The thesis assumes that understanding the research engagement of teacher educators requires attention not only to external policies, institutional structures, and academic expectations, but also to the relational, emotional, and affective dimensions of research, all of which shape their evolving professional identities. The empirical research adopts a single embedded case study design, drawing on semi structured interviews with four experienced teacher educators based at a university in England. All participants work predominantly with beginning teachers and specialise in the primary age phase. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2022), with the themes and codes generated, presented, and explored through the presentation of composite narratives. As discussed by Johnston (2024) and Willis (2019), this is an under-theorised but purposeful narrative approach for disseminating findings. Composite narratives present accounts of lived experience using the words of participants, rearticulated through the perspectives of imagined others. This method was chosen both to preserve participant anonymity and to present findings in a form designed to provoke reflection and resonance for the reader. The study exposes the considerable challenges teacher educators face in sustaining research engagement, which are exacerbated by ongoing systemic reforms and increasing accountability demands. Within this context, research often becomes secondary, as subtle forms of symbolic exclusion contribute to a sense of disconnection from the wider university. These challenges are not only structural but also deeply affective, as feelings of marginalisation, frustration, and diminished professional worth shape how teacher educators experience and enact their roles as researchers. The composite narratives illustrate how teacher educators navigate these pressures, often expressing frustration at the lack of time, institutional support, and recognition afforded to their research endeavours. Yet, despite these constraints, the narratives also reveal important signs of hope. Drawing on the concept of illusio (Bourdieu, 2007), the deep, often unexamined investment individuals make in a particular social field, the data point to a strong, enduring commitment to the belief that scholarly and educational work is inherently meaningful and worth pursuing. This thesis calls on the sector to engage in sustained dialogue about what it means to be a research-engaged teacher educator working within the university in the 21st century. It urges universities to recognise the distinct pressures facing teacher education and to consider how they might cultivate an academic culture that values and respects the contributions of those whose work bridges the arenas of schooling and higher education. At an individual level, it emphasises the importance of claiming the title of teacher educator and encourages practitioners to confidently assert their specialised role within the wider educational landscape
Mesmerism, female identity, and narratives of control in fiction 1840-1900
No full textThis thesis critically analyses the representation of mesmerism in nineteenth-century fictional literature in respect to its influence on women’s minds and bodies. The thesis encompasses a sixty-year timespan to examine how the relationship between mesmerism and women reflects the patriarchal dynamics and distribution of power and authority in contemporary British, European, and American society. The project seeks to stand alongside existing research on literary mesmerism and gender dynamics, from such scholars as Ann Heilmann, Fiona Coll, and Susan Poznar, by incorporating the analysis into a broader discussion of themes such as control and consent, domesticity and marriage, women’s health, the interplay between physical and psychic identity, and nineteenth-century understandings of ideas that would inform later psychoanalytical concepts such as the id/ego/superego, and sociological concepts such as the Medusa complex. The thesis will conclude by discussing how nineteenth-century attitudes towards mesmerism and its effect on women continues to inform modern-day perceptions of the trance state
